ISO Muffin Recipe With No White Flour or Sugar (Savory OK)

I need to make muffins (or something equivalent) for someone on a restricted diet and am hoping someone can offer suggestions. Savory recipes are also welcomed. The person I'm baking for is ill and has lost a lot of weight, therefore I'm not looking for a recipe that is low in fat. Eggs and dairy are fine. I was thinking that a muffin with sweet potato/pumpkin puree and cornmeal might work well, or a savory muffin with cheese. Crackers might be an option too.

Here are the parameters:

- Whole-grain flour or rice flour
- No sugar -- the muffins can be sweetened with fresh/dried fruit, but no sugar/honey/molasses, etc.
- The recipe would preferably call for coconut oil, but butter or another type of oil is workable.

Thanks in advance for your help, it is greatly appreciated.

      You can omit the sugar or sweetener if you don't want to use Stevia, and add some mashed banana.

      You might try this recipe... for the white flour, sub 1/4 c soy flour, 1/2 cup brown rice flour, and 1/4 c garbanzo flour or quinoa flour.

      A basic muffin that can be savory or sweet... replace the sweetener with fruit or substitute... can also omit it then increase the liquid by a little and add spinach, onions, mushrooms and cheese.

              Thanks for the shout-out, Emme...but I need to point out that the recipe we used for savory muffins does include one teaspoon of sugar. Not much, to be sure, but it's definitely in there so we don't want anyone ending up with an unpleasant surprise.
